Acts 2:4-19

4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

5And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because every man heard them speak in his own language.1 7And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these who speak Galilaeans? 8And how do we hear every man in our own language, in which we were born? 9Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11Cretes and Arabians, we hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

14But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and hearken to my words: 15For these are not drunk, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 16But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will, in those, days pour out of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
